Boris is a copper bottomed, double dealing hypocritical little shit. The press will destroy him

21 Feb 2016 at 18:35

I have been knocking around politics for so long that I didn’t think it was possible for me to become utterly shocked at the venality, ambition and horror of one man’s ego. But this evening I have been proved totally wrong. Boris Johnson has proved beyond all reasonable doubt that he is a copper bottomed, double dealing, hypocritical little shit. For a man thirteen days ago who wrote eloquently of all the reasons we should stay in the EU and who weeks previously had made it fairly clear that he wanted to remain, the reek of u turned burnt rubber and the aftershave of political greed infects the air.

The really awful thing was how contrived it all was. I suspect that he wanted to storm out of cabinet yesterday and bathe in the political glory. Cameron sniffed the wind and didn’t let it happen. But there is no glory here. Just betrayal and a level of morality which would make an Algerian brothel owner blush. If the Corbyn and Trump phenomenon is anything to go by Boris is the embodiment of everything that the public despise about politicians. The effortless, wealthy ooze of entitlement, the laziness of mind and the incontinence of mouth, coupled with a psychotic drive to be Prime Minister.

Some of you will accuse me as a REMAINER of being terrified of the Boris pull. Quite the opposite. The public will repulsed with his cynical opportunism along with his new bed fellows Farage and Galloway. I can’t wait for his first serious media grilling when he will have to answer for all that he has written, all that he has said and why he pretends not to understand that Cameron has protected the City of London against unfair EU competition. If the OUTERS win the day the city of London will be fucked.

This is the biggest mistake of his political life. And it will be mortal. When the party faithful see the havoc he will wreak he will never be forgiven. Well I hope so because if this dreadful little man ever becomes leader of my party then I and so many moderates will move on. Many will say that Boris is his own worst enemy. Not while I’m about.

And the article is from a former MP and a practicing barrister.
He surely knows of what he speaks.
"The Law" as practiced by polit6icians and politics as practiced by lawyers is one of the main things wrong with Britain these days.
Laws are passed merely to benefit lawyers.
They are all "Copper-bottomed, Double Dealing, Hypocritical (Big or little) Shits" and not a one of them should we trust.
Parliament has done nothing useful in my lifetime, nor has the "Executive"

I had to laugh. Channel 4 News sent Emissaries to talk to the Hoi Poloi in the North, only to find most of those interviewed did not know who Boris Johnston was!

'Cameron has protected the City of London against unfair EU competition.' This 'Philadelphia Lawyer' cuts right to the Chase, every Foreigner is Unfair to the English! Woe, Woe! The English Establishment do not give a Hoot about anything outside of the Southern States of Engerland!

Can't stand the Man, but I hope Boris gives you a Bloody Nose! Ridiculous Tories, Hell bent on bring this Country to its knees!! Don't forget the Confederates lost the War!!!

May I disrupt the proceedings Mr Chairman ?
There is an elephant in the room, a nasty vile huge elephant that Boris et al are avoiding like the blazes, even though he, Cameron, Corby know the dreadful state of this.
England is full of child abuse....on an industrial scale, being covered up on an industrial scale.
The very people paid by government are the enabling and causal agents of this - the local councils and their social workers.
I have challenged top professor's of social work to a public debate, or a private debate with professional witnesses. Not a single one will respond.
Our country has become like Nazi Germany just as the Nazi's were coming to power. Those in authority are unaccountable, and have learned and developed multifarious methods and devices to gag, hide and severely abuse any challengers or exposers.
I challenged the previous PCC of Cheshire about the outrageous crimes his police were being allowed to cover up many times. At the hustings in Chester he was utterly embarrassed and befuddled when challenged in public.
Much more is to happen in Chester and Cheshire where child rape, child abuses that are highly evidenced are being covered up by a chain leading from floor of chief constable and from social workers to chief executive.
The number of children blatantly abused and hushed up within these private fiefdoms is a scandal of the highest outrage.
My own involvement only started 6 years ago, and the more you dig the worse it gets. I am a consultant physicist and perfectly acceptable to be part of audit teams on nuclear plants to secure military installations; meaning that when I report things they are real.

Not sure why you bracket Corbyn with Trump and Boris as exemplars of "the effortless, wealthy ooze of entitlement, the laziness of mind and the incontinence of mouth". You may not like Corbyn, but he should be bracketed with Bernie Sanders as standing up to those very things, (thank heavens).

I think Trump and Boris are cut from the same cloth; I think they both say anything to maintain thier 'image'. (Though Trump still wins out on odiusness (odiosity?) despite events of yesterday) While I don't share Corbyn's politics I do have admiration for the man

I absolutely agree that the Boris/Trump comparison is one that holds some water (and that Trump is worse by some margin). But I can still see hardly any overlap between Corbyn and Trump at all. Trump shares Boris's sense of entitlement, his windy rhetoric, and his laziness of mind. Corbyn, on the other hand reminds me of the obverse of the old adage that anyone who wants to be a leader shouldn't be. There's no sense of entitlement, just someone with thought-through principles that he sticks to. Bracketing Corbyn and Trump into the same phrase struck me as the lazy thinking Jerry Hayes complains of. Or maybe it's required in order to get an article critical of Boris into the pages of The Spectator? :-)

Tories don't like it when a couple of their members see some sense, get us out of the Eu we have been lied to and broken promised long enough by those just out to make as much money as they can before being rumbled, the Tories have sold everything we owned to line their own pockets Ukip for me Mate I am 78 years old and an ex coalminer. The Tory boys days are coming to an end.

I agree with every word you've written. Does he really think not announcing his decision until late in the day yesterday because he was struggling with a difficult decision will fool anybody? He was obviously building up the suspense so he could get maximum publicity.

V. Right Wing London/ Eton playboy, playing school boy bullying games. He could become our next PM because South East Electorate like his capitalist greed and Trumpetry. He will only run Britain for the greedy city of London banking establishment, not for any other part of these isles.

The childish insults apart, I entirely agree with your statement. What surprises me is why you would single out just one politician. I don't doubt that Boris has made his move to be the next party leader. Personally I don't give a monkeys. I can't remember a time when your present leader hasn't been following his own agenda , blindly followed by his party without a whimper. To be honest, I find your indignation a little amusing. I think it's probably more a case of ' there but for the grace of God, (and half the guts of Boris, go I).

Well done Boris at least you show some Social Conscience no Matter How temporary.

After months of Study and Facial Profiling , I have made a very Important Discovery. Please be aware that it did take me some Years , So remember to mention me when you Share this important information. The Facial Profiling was that of......... David Cameron, and I have to report that I have discovered how you can tell if he is Lying ( or about to ) Stand By..... YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL BECAUSE HIS MOUTH IS OPEN...

The problem is that only the media whom the minority watch will take Johnson apart. The right-wing media will continue to use him as entertainment, giving him the airtime he craves, and people will vote for him because they believe he's a breath of fresh air. He's not - his air is foul, reeks of jingoism and above all, egotism. Johnson is in it for one thing and one thing only - himself, and screw everyone else.

Where is the hypocrisy Hayes? Let's face it he waited until after Cameron came back holding his own genitals, then he decided to jum ship. I too can see through him pretty much the same way I see through you. You and Shafiq are the funniest double act since Little and Large.

Not sure who you are old son, but you are obviously an ex MP & a barrister, two professions that get paid for saving the guilty, whether or not that might mean lieing. So using your style of language, an areshole just like the rest.

Britons are being invited to exchange the lived reality of EU membership for a nebulous exit, envisaged by its most popular advocate as a way of gaining leverage over Brussels for a deeper revision of membership terms. “In the next few weeks,” wrote Mr Johnson in his announcement in the Daily Telegraph, “the views of people like me will matter less and less.” Believe him. (Janan Ganesh - FT)

Come to think of it Boris didn't even sound convinced by himself. He will not feature greatly in the Leave campaign as he remains too rational (by comparison with other Outers) and will then look ridiculous and isolated after the referendum when the Outers lose.

Hi Jerry Have you joined the LibDumbs yet? Think your views would more than fit in there? Seems like Galloway and Farage are being marginalised thank heavens. Another good reason for voting out is that Red Ken Livingstone says he is going to leave the country is if we pull out the EU
